The Moon and the Hare (origin of death)

The Moon and the Hare (origin of death)

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

kabbo (Jantje) (II)

<i>The Hottentot myth of the Origin of Death is also found in Bushman; but the Bushman form of it first related to us is very different from the Hottentot, be it more or less original. We have two versions of it. In the first, the Moon strikes the young Hare (whose mother is lying dead) with his fist upon its mouth, and tells it to cry loudly; for its mother will not return as he (the Moon) does, but is quite dead (L II.-6. 664-670).</i>
